    • New product development and commercialization
    • Process optimization and troubleshooting on the plant floor
What Makes This Role Different
  • Direct impact on revenue growth and customer success
  • High visibility with executive leadership
  • Ability to define technical strategy , not just execute it
  • Opportunity to modernize and evolve a well‑established technical foundation
What You Bring
  • 10+ years in flexible packaging, coatings, or converting

Deep hands‑on experience in at least one:

  • Extrusion coating
  • Laminations

Strong working knowledge of:

  • Adhesive chemistries and applications
  • Film substrates and performance characteristics
  • Converting processes and equipment

Proven ability to:

  • Solve complex technical problemsInterface with customers and suppliers
  • Translate technical capability into business value
  • Ideal Background
    • Technical leader at a flexible packaging manufacturer
    • Senior application engineer from an adhesive or film supplier
    • R&D or process leader in coatings, laminations, or extrusion
    Leadership & Transition

    You will work closely with our current Technical Director to ensure a successful transition of knowledge, relationships, and processes.
